Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Detroit Tigers prospect Hao-Yu Lee went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and a walk in his first start as a designated hitter.
  • Tyler Glasnow allowed one run and two hits over seven innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Detroit 6-1 and won their three-game series 2-1.
  • Lee recorded his 17th walk of the season, surpassing the Taiwan-born MLB record of 16 set by Yu-Cheng Chang in 2022.

Hao-Yu Lee made Taiwan baseball history on a difficult night at the plate. The Detroit Tigers prospect went hitless in two at-bats, struck out twice and drew one walk in his first career start as a designated hitter.

Lee’s walk in the eighth inning came after he battled Dodgers right-hander Kyle Hurt through six pitches. It extended his current on-base streak to three games. He finished with a .266 batting average and a .723 OPS.

Despite the quiet performance, Lee reached a notable season milestone. His 17 walks moved him past Yu-Cheng Chang’s 16 in 2022, giving him the most walks in a single season by a Taiwanese major league hitter.

The Tigers managed only two hits against Tyler Glasnow, who worked seven innings, allowed one run and struck out six. Detroit lost 6-1 and took one victory from the three-game series. Teoscar Hernández hit a two-run homer for Los Angeles, while Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and extended his run without a home run or RBI to 10 games.
